Volunteer specialists
Doctors in 181 remote hospitals have immediate access to 458 consultants covering all medical and surgical specialties. The Trust is particularly grateful to specialists worldwide who have agreed to provide their expertise to assist their colleagues in developing countries. However, working with the Trust also gives specialists the opportunity to deal with many fascinating cases they would not otherwise meet under normal circumstances and provides them with an opportunity to use their expertise to directly influence the care of a patient who may be many thousands of kilometres away. If you are a medical practitioner (consultant grade or equivalent), you may be able to help. Please indicate your interest by submitting your details on our contacts page.
